No. It was just self-depreciating humor at a charity event.

Man I love the www... if someone has the audacity to disagree with you... well they must be morons, idiots, not true fans, have their priorities out of whack, etc. People view and process things differently. Why on earth when someone has a differing opinion than that of your own must he/she be deemed somewhat of a lesser minded individual? I've just never felt the passionate need that's on display here to convert people to my way of thinking and quite honestly am most happy keeping company with people with divergent opinions than that of my own. I'm sure most on here are the same way, but it's not reflected in how they deal with their fellow goTitans members. I know the justification for this in many cases would be, "Well he/she started it first". To me that's about as lame as it gets... you can't let the assholes of the world dictate our behaviour... or else eventually the world will be habitated with nothing but assholes... much like these boards would appear to be at this very moment (and I know for a fact that's not the case).

I think simply the fact that their are obviously many fans who feel put off by the coach's display (whether justified in their feelings or not) indicates that Fisher's lame act was a mistake. Football is a business, in businesss you shoud probably try to steer clear of annoying your most rabid customers (again regardless of whether said custy is justified in feeling the way they do or not). If Fisher doesn't see this, I'm thinking Bud will.

Nashville (AP) - Taking a cue from Titans 0-6 coach Jeff Fisher, veteran linebacker Keith Bulluck decided to sport a new look - that of legendary defenseman Ray Lewis. "Look, if coach can do it, so can we. Who cares if we have a rough year? All that matters is that, in our own minds, we are winners." Bulluck went on to state that he intends to wear the Lewis jersey to contract negotiations at the end of this season, hoping to increase his value at the bargaining table. He also stated that journeyman quarterback Kerry Collins intends to wear a Joe Namath throwback jersey for the remainder of the season, as well as Namath's old pantyhose. Collins was heard in the locker room muttering "just call me Lower Broadway Joe". The NFL has yet to weigh in on the issue, taking a wait and see approach. However, rumours have surfaced that the entire St. Louis Rams team intends to sport New Orleans Saints uniforms for inspiration.

I don't know that he's gone to the extreme of wearing a purple #52 but he doesn't seem too happy (which is unfortunate considering he's one of the few players who genuinely seems to take pride in being a part of this franchise)

And the reaction from some of the players won't help Fisher put this behind him. Said linebacker Keith Bulluck on Wednesday (per the Tennessean), "It didn't make me laugh at all. But it was for charity. It was for a great cause. He is trying to move the crowd. He is our head coach. He doesn't have to explain himself. But he did. If people found it funny, then it's funny. Of course it didn't sit well with everyone, but it doesn't matter what we think. You know what I mean?''

The video of other quotes from Bulluck, playing hourly or more often on ESPN's SportsCenter, reflected an even stronger sense of quiet frustration. And in that same clip package defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch had the demeanor of a hostage reading a message scrawled by his captors while saying, "It wasn't a big deal amongst the players."

Look, you have no idea what you are talking about.... at all. You keep ranting about how only a small pocket of fans on this forum are upset, which is absolutely absurd.
I live in Tennessee. I've talked to several Titans fans about this today and a grand total of zero of them were cool with it. I've even talked to friends and colleagues who are fans of OTHER teams that said they'd be very pissed off if their coach did this.

To sit here and act like you know what's going on with the Titans fan base when you clearly do not is just ignorant.

You spoke with several fans? How many? 10? You're up to about 75 angry fans...maybe.

It wasn't for charity.. He didn't make a dime for a charity because he wore a Colts jersey. All it did was stir up Titan players and fans, it didn't raise a dime, it just made him the :grrr::grrr::grrr: of a lot of jokes. If Dungy had said, I'll pay $100 for Jefff Fisher to introduce me while he's wearing a Colts jersey then it would have been for charity but that's not what happened. It' not even bringing a lot of recognition to the charity because they aren't even given out the name in all the reports, they're just saying a charity event.

Again, what other head coach of any sport has done something like this?

It was a joke. It was for a charity event. It was only a joke. It doesn't matter. It made you angry. That doesn't matter either. This is not an issue. Stop whining. Get over it.

When I first saw the photo, I thought it was a Photoshop hack. I'll admit it shocked me initially. But after seeing it in context and understanding the circumstances surrounding it, I don't see it as a big deal.

I totally understand why some of you are ticked. I get ticked at fans who sell their tickets to Colts fans and I bet some here who want Fisher's head for doing this have done that. And I'm a lot more disturbed with Fisher for his comments following a 59-0 shellacking than anything he does with his free time.

Knowing Fisher, he planned this months ago without thought to the Titans' record when the event happened. His goal was to generate some publicity for a cause he feels strongly about and you can bet Rocketown has gotten more mention in the media the last couple of days than they have the last couple of years.

Bulluck has every reason to be pissed off. If you can't take pride in your own team as a coach, how can you expect your team to raise its spirits? And I definitely think this is going to hurt contract negotiations with Bulluck at the end of the season.

First, if you are dumb enough to spend thousands, that's on you. You did it and no one forced you. Stop complaining.

I think that's pretty over the line man. So you are suggesting people that spend money on Titans are stupid?

Do you realize that if I decide, eh the Titans don't look good, I'm not gonna buy my tickets this year.. I lose my PSLs. So after that, I would have to get back on the waiting list, or purchase online or buy from scalpers.

I will keep my PSLs regardless of how bad this team ever gets, because it's awesome that Nashville has a pro football team, and I want to support that.
